The moment Opus 4.6 came into existence, the RIP was software with them and unfortunately now making software is ready. Even though thinking a particular solution in a hackathon still makes sense, when it comes to making real physical solutions now that makes no sense. That's why I get our day of hackathons like in the future.

Opus 4.6? More like Sonnet 3.5. The last Hackathon I did was almost 2 years ago. I was probably the only one there doing agentic coding, or at least I didn't meet anyone else who did (some people did ask questions to ChatGPT). We won. We wouldn't have won if I'd coded by hand.
